Justin Jackson (No. 34) of North Carolina and Jawun Evans of Oklahoma State (No. 90) round out the group.

According to tournament organizers, about two dozen NBA scouts were at the Lahaina Civic Center this week.

New rules

One of the more significant rule changes on display this week deals with the restricted area under the basket.

“What they’ve changed is if a player is in the restricted area — and he’s a secondary defender — and a guy comes down the lane to the basket, if he jumps up in the air to try to block the shot, he’s now no longer in jeopardy from being in the restricted lane,” Maui Invitational supervisor and coordinator of officials Hank Nichols said Wednesday. “It’s going to be a regular basketball play.”

Another change is a little harder for officials to regulate, Nichols said.

“The rules for years always said that you can be a defensive player and get as close to the offensive player without contact as you want,” Nichols said. “Well, now they’ve created kind of a cylinder, an imaginary cylinder, so that when I get up on a guy if I’m a defender and he can hardly move and make a basketball play now I’m in jeopardy as a defensive player for a foul.”

Quotable

“I’ll be quite honest with you, I tried to get out of this tournament when I got to Tennes-see because I knew we were going to be bringing in seven, eight new freshmen.”
